The first woman files suit against the Church for clergy sex abuse. 65-year-old B.T. lives in Saipan, but filed her complaint in the District Court of Guam on Tuesday. B.T. alleges she was sexually molested by Father Joe R. San Agustin also known as Andrew San Agustin when she and her younger sister came with the priest to Guam for vacation. San Agustin was employed by the Archdiocese of Agana, but temporarily assigned to Mt. Carmel School in Saipan where he was B.T.'s teacher. While on Guam, she alleges the priest kissed her and touched her privates as well as digitally penetrated her when she was 12-years-old. B.T. is suing for $5 million.

KUAM News has learned that San Agustin is a member of the Concerned Catholics of Guam, but no longer a priest for the Archdiocese of Agana.

Also filing today is former altar boy and boyscout Donald Vincent San Agustin. Although Father Louis Brouillard wasn't his priest or scoutmaster, Brouillard visited frequently and was assigned to teach the Sinajana troop to swim. On a swimming trip, the priest allegedly raped him in the water. He quit the Boy Scouts immediately after. San Agustin is suing for $10 million.
